Our family had a wonderful time on the Raft, Ride and Slide trip! Our teens especially enjoyed the rafting, aerial adventure and Road to the Sun. Some of the lectures were a little long to keep their attention though. Food was good, instructors were informative and friendly. The hiking DOES involve uneven trails with rocks and roots - not ideal for mobility challenges. I recommend this trip, just read the details. TIP: We flew into Missoula which was a big cost savings over Kallispell airport.

The program activities and highlights were excellent for children ages 8 and higher and it was both a family and a grandparent tour. Glacier National Park and the Flathead Valley are both unique and beautiful. We enjoyed exploring Kalispell before the tour started so I would recommend coming a day or two earlier. Several families stayed longer to do additional activities on their own. The tour is well organized and provides educational experiences each day to learn about Montana. Local experts and the group leader were wonderful and made the tour of Glacier National Park very special. Ellen Horowitz provided an overview of the national park and gave the participants a book she wrote on "What I Saw in Glacier - A Kid's Guide to the National Park". This is an excellent educational program for children, grandparents, and families.

Intergenerational programs combine the joys and energy of youth and the ease and comfort of being among other grandparents. This one was exceptional - so well planned, all experiences and personnel of high quality.

We just concluded the Raft, Ride & Slide in Glacier National Park With Your Family Road Scholar adventure. We traveled with a granddaughter and had a wonderful time. Not only were we able to pack in many great experiences, but also learn about the geology, wildlife and plant-life of the area. Many are traveling again this year and access to the park is limited. Road Scholar breaks down the barriers to pack in nonstop activities. We expanded our comfort level with the zip line, rafting and mountain sliding activities. Guided walks in the forest, view of the world from the summit of the Rockies and the “Jammer” ride up the “going to the Sun Road” are bucket list activities. This all is expertly organized to coordinate meals and travel and eliminate wait times. We have been on 7 adventures, 3 with grandchildren. This is a wonderful opportunity to bond with family and new friends.
